newbie here-Cristina

[Guest guest]

Welcome, Cristina. I am a newbie, too, and it is harder when your hubby is a

meat eater. I try to fix some sides of vegetables that I think he will eat...I

read that there is protein in most fruits and vegetables, so if we eat lots of

those and incorporate some grains and nuts, we should be ok.

Hi Cristina. Glad you found us. I am only

somewhat familiar with Guam culture because

while living in Hawaii I worked with a few ladies

who grew up there. I didn't know they ate

mostly meat. I guess I always assumed there

would be a diet rich in island fruits and veggies.

I hope we can be of help to you as you make the

dietary transition for yourself. We have loads

of wonderful recipes in the files and more recipes

shared each day for you to choose from.

If you have any questions please feel free to just

ask; someone here is bound to know the answer

or where you can fnd the answer.

My husband isn't completely vegetarian, but he never eats it at home and only

rarely when we go out to eat. If he does eat it, it is only the clean meat. He

grew up a meat eater, but knew when we were dating that it grossed me out way to

much to ever prepare it or have it prepared in my home. Even the fumes of meat

cooking is repulsive to me or it being cooked in the things I cook with.

 

He quickly adapted his taste buds to enjoy the Meat Substitutes that I prepare

frequently and now he loves them. It was no big deal. It's all a matter of

retraining taste buds to like new things. He eats a lot more variety of Veggies

now also. I am trying new things all the time and we never get in a rut with

meals. I love cooking. : ))

 

Yes you are right. Most everything has some protein in it so all is fine.
